Origami Lily

Fig 1. Starting with a square piece of
paper, no smaller than 20cm, as this could be too fiddly for your first attempt. Place your chosen paper pattern side down, fold the paper in half both ways diagonally, horizontally and
vertically to make a star as in the picture shown below. Make sure all of your creases
are sharp to make folding the Lily easier using your bone card folder.

Fig 2. Fold the paper (right
side out) into a triangle using the crease lines as a guide, then push
one of the sides into the centre of the triangle and repeat with the other
side until you have the shape shown in the picture below.

Fig 3. Making sure that the open edges are pointing upwards, then take one of the sides and fold
to the centre crease line and repeat with the other side too. Now flip the whole thing over and repeat.

Unfold the them all, which will leave a crease line

Fig 4. Take one of the folded
side edges and slip your finger into it as shown in the pic below. Then press the flap down. You should have formed what looks like a kite
with a white tips. Repeat the other 3 flaps and you will get the result as
shown below...

Notice how there are now 8 sides to the model; some of the sides look
like the picture below (with white tip) and other sides show the patterned paper tips.

Fig 5. Ensure the a white tip side is
facing upwards and fold the whole shape in half and make a sharp crease then unfold. This
crease line will help later on.

Fold the
side edge into the centre crease as shown, repeat with the other side, and open
them out again

slip
your finger into the pocket and using the side
creaslines as a guide pull down, so that everything is aligned on the centre crease line, push the small
resulting triangle upward and back down again to form a crease line. Repeat
this with the other 3 white tips sides.

Fig 8. With the
plain side (with no folds or flaps) facing up, and the open tip
open edges are facing away from you fold one of the side edges into the centre crease-line and repeat with
the other side, repeat this step with the other 3 plain sides.
